Bug ID: 1232568 Summary: Clarification of VNCServer setup Requsted Product: Fedora Documentation Version: devel Component: system-administrator's-guide Assignee: swadeley@redhat.com Reporter: eckirchn@gmail.com QA Contact: docs-qa@lists.fedoraproject.org CC: swadeley@redhat.com
using:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/21/html/System_Administrators_Gu...
[in the below statements X = {1, 2, 3....10}]
I was able to install and connect to a VNC session using "vncviewer -via XXXXX" however it was only after executing "systemctl start vncserver@:X.service' on the remote machine.
Executing systemctl enable vncserver@:X.service
results in: Failed to execute operation: No such file or directory
Section 8.1.3. Starting VNC Server states: systemctl enable vncserver@:display_number.service
however, unless one creates a file such as: vncserver@:X.service
the command systemctl enable vncserver@:X.service
does not work. After some time with the help of [coolmadmax] on IRC://#Fedora, I was able to understand this was where I was missing a step.
I think it would help to add some clarifying statements here to help others.
The guide [coolmadmax] suggested:
https://stufs4u.wordpress.com/2014/02/25/install-and-configure-vnc-server-in... added this ounce of clarification.
Help on this issue included [mutk] [fenrus02] [kendell] [devhen] and [_AnK] and I thank all.

--- Comment #1 from Stephen Wadeley swadeley@redhat.com --- Hello
Thank you for raising this bug.
As stated in "Configuring the first VNC connection", specifying the display number in the configuration file is not required. I did test this a few months ago and raised a bug to get the man page fixed.
Bug 1195266 - The display number is not required in the file name for VNC
However I will test the enable command soon.
